I Need To Fill The Hole In My Dash!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A TRACK MODEL. AS YOU KNOW IT DOES NOT COME WITH BOSE OR A NAVI UNLESS YOU ASK FOR I. WHAT I WANT IS AN AFTERMARKET TV/DVD PLAYER PLACED IN THE COMPARTMENT ABOVE THE STEREO CONSOLE. WHICH COMPANIES MAKE THE BEST TV THAT WOULD FIT FLUSH AND LOOK NICE.?....

Fahrenheit makes a screen that looks beautiful. I believe it's a 7 incher. There's a couple people here that have done them. How much ya lookin' to spend?

Re: the hole in your dash

Have your gotten any prices yet on what this would cost and what websites have you checked?
I have the touring model minus the nav system and putting a screen in there with a DVD is a great idea. Let me know!

I can only find the Model t-5601MH...I was told by a caraudio place here that they can't fit a lcd screen larger than 3.5 inches in the dvdnav space because the way it is hinged interferes...what needs to be done to get around this? Do they know what they are talking about?

I've got a stupid question:

If you install a DVD system, does the sound come through the stereo? I have the Bose system and do not want to make any after market changes to the stereo, but IF I were to install DVD, can they make the sound through the stereo? Thanks for any input!

RF modulator for about $30 will do the trick. Like what some cd changer use. Search ebay. Beware some modulators suck. Research your purchase.

So if you dont get an RF modulator, does the LCD have built in speakers? Thanks!

The LCD is just video. It outputs video...just like speakers outputs audio. You need another source for audio. Either a tv tuner, dvd, computer system, etc.
